Wrap-Up for 20/20 Reading Challenge

This was a new challenge for 2020

It sounded fun, but I didn't complete it, ending 4 books short.

It's hosted here.

There are 20 categories that have you reading 10 fiction and 10 nonfiction books. 

I read 9 Fiction books and 7 Nonfiction that fit the challenge categories. I had the most trouble with the last category as I had few books on my list that the host had read.

The Categories:

1. Crime fiction or True Crime

   The Wings of the Sphinx by Andrea Camilleri. Finished January 5 (Crime Fiction)
